Well - I already have the first contact mail in my mailbox. He will create
it on a subdomain and then install TYPO3 wherever I like. He can offer me
some space on his server, but if I have my own one he will do it there. No
problem so far.

OK - but what will he do if I deliver the design as most of the designers
do?
Some Photoshop screens with a really heavy graphical layermenu. Since he
can't force his clients to know HTML this is what he will get.

You see it from the wrong point of view. He didn't say: "You get pages that
look like the ones you can reach with this URL." He simply says: "You send
me the design - I will make a TYPO3 site out of it." So if he doesn't do
exactly what I want, he will do it again and again and again.

One scenario might be very interesting: I might be a reseller that delivers
the page he has to do for lets say 2.500 EUR. Since he says he needs 30 days
to do the job this will be the deadline my client is getting too. If he is
not able to deliver the stuff just in time and free of faults in a way that
is common practice for modern websites he might be sued for damages since
there are simply no terms and conditions in the article description, which
means everything will be treated with BGB standards. - This is no joke, this
is the way many lawyers earn their money.

And believe me - 2.500 EUR for each of the articles would be a hard lesson
;-)
